I like chicken liver pate too



My mum makes chicken liver pate. I love it, me and my brother get her to make us pots of the stuff up when she makes it.

She hasn't made it for ages, cos she is struggling to get chicken livers.... apparently Tesco & Sainsbury's have stopped selling them! Frowner


How does one make pate?? Hmmm... might be Googletime

How about popping into her local butchers and see if they sell them.

Ingredients from Anthony Worrall T

175g/6oz unsalted butter, softened
450g/1lb chicken livers, trimmed and cleaned
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 tsp soft thyme leaves
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tbsp brandy
2 tsp anchovy essence
Â― tsp freshly ground black pepper
55g/2oz clarified butter, melted
Method

1. Heat 15g/Â―oz of the butter in a frying pan until foaming.
2. Add half the livers and fry quickly on all sides until golden, but still pink in the middle, about 4-5 minutes.
3. Repeat with a second batch of butter and livers.
4. Place the livers and juices in a food processor.
5. In the same pan heat another 15g/Â―oz butter, add the shallot, thyme and garlic, and cook over a moderate heat until the shallot is soft but not coloured.
6. Add the brandy, anchovy essence and pepper, and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any coagulated juices.
7. Place everything in the food processor, including the remaining unsalted butter. Blend until smooth.
8. If you want a very smooth pÃĒtÃĐ, pass the mixture through a fine sieve and put in a bowl. Cover with the cling film, cool then refrigerate. If not using within 48 hours, cover the top with clarified butter.

Actually... thats a very good idea. We have a farm shop up the road, a butchers farm shop... I bet he can lay his hand on some chicken livers for me.

Think I should warn my mum first... or just rock up with bucket of liver for her? Big Grin

Thats pretty much a posh version of my mum's recipe. I'm not sure if she uses anchovy essence... or brandy.

I do know she is always telling us its easy to make... she just throws it all in the blender.
